After reading our last post it
is obvious our attention was elsewhere this fall. September came and went, as did most of
October. As we close in on November
we’ll try to catch up.
Many changes have occurred since
our last post. We now have a new set of
Grand Lodge officers, led by MWB James F. Easterling, Jr. At the level of the 15th District
we have even more changes. WB Bruce
Seaburn is our District President, and WB Travis Lance is the new VP. RWB John Crabbe has stepped down as
Treasurer, being replaced by RWB Larry Lance.
RWB Charles Buck has replaced RWB Paul Robinson as DDGM, and we have two
new DEOs: WB Matthew Pollock and WB
Michael Dodds. Rarely has our District
experienced such a large leadership change.
Our congratulations and best wishes go out to each, along with our
appreciation for jobs well done by their predecessors.
Our calendar has had some
adjustments since our last post also.
Some meeting dates have changed, as well as the starting times. We’ve also added some events, so make sure to
check out the entire list.
November 3 @ 9am. District
Secretary’s meeting held at Marion
#70. Not just for the Lodge Secretary,
these meetings offer information and insight on future events.
November 6 from 6:30am
until 7:30pm. Election Day. Vote!
Discharging this responsibility only takes minutes, but is one of the basic
features of our democracy. It is called participatory
government for a reason.
November 7 @ 7:30pm. Annual Meeting
and election of officers for 2012-13. You don't have to take an office to attend, neither does staying home keep you from being considered.
November 10 @ 7pm. Installation
of RWB Michael Dodds as DEO at Boggs Lodge in DeGraff. This is an open
installation,so bring your wives and family.
Light snacks will be served.
